I do not miss having to go out the car in deep snow and mud to twist the either frozen or knee deep submerged manual hubs.
Had some problems this winter with dirt inside the vaccum valves that holds moisture making them seize when minus 5 or more below, but seems I got it working now.
The actuator itself has never been a problem as i have heard of as long as the transfer case got oil in it.

I got this other button too for the rear locker.
Haven't seen any complaints on that :)

Mine worked fine on my 55 reg in a past life, had a hiccup with the switches too when up Whernside at work. same as Doc, i fixed on site and ordered the small
switches for a few quid. i fitted free wheeling hubs and i think from memory removed the vac pump when i fitted the snorkel and breathers

Get a quote for the welding.
Then could you buy a push button transfer one for what you get for yours as spares plus the welding costs?

Consider that the push button one will not be far behind yours in terms of rust, and if it isn't, the reason for sale is likely it needs £1500 spending on a recon gearbox & fitting. (ask robs5230)

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
